Each year the regional office asks a number of schools to submit a random sample of three diploma candidates’ creativity, action, service (CAS) records. Where a school is required to submit sample candidate CAS records to the regional office, as part of the regular monitoring process, the records required will be:
the CAS progress form (see model Form A in the Creativity, action, service guide appendices for a possible model)
the CAS individual candidate completion form (see model Form B in the Creativity, action, service guide appendices for a possible model)
up to 10 sample pages from the candidate’s ongoing documentation. These sample pages, which may, for example, be photocopied journal pages or printouts from electronic logs, must include a list of the principal activities undertaken and evidence of both planning and reflection. For one or more activities, it must be possible for the reader to tell what happened, why it happened, how it happened, what its value was and what the candidate learned from it.
Schools should retain other supporting material until 31 May/30 November in case there are queries about the material supplied. As part of routine monitoring, or during five-year reviews, regional offices may request to see the complete documentation for individual candidates.
